Beyond the Bottle

Pan-Roasted Cauliflower and American Caviar

Even prior to the moratorium on Russian caviar, we looked to the Americas for our “black pearls.” We have discovered what we believe to be the very best in the volcanic springs of Idaho’s Magic Valley. Here, the Transmontanus Rex (Latin for “King of the White Sturgeon”) produces eggs which are both rich and complex, a delicate crispness that pairs perfectly with Jordan Chardonnay. Florets of pan-roasted cauliflower serve as a warm and unexpected backdrop for this festive and elegant holiday dish.

Instructions

serves 12

Sauté cauliflower until colored, while still retaining some bite – about 5 minutes.

Spoon cauliflower with its browned butter and olive oil onto warm plates. Top each serving with half an ounce of caviar, then garnish with chervil.
